Where's the 'Butcher Cover'??

"Nearly 30 years ago, The Beatles released an album cover in which they wore bloodied butcher smocks and were surrounded by decappitated baby dolls and chunks of raw meat. It was a statement against their US subsidiary "butchering" the group's original albums to suit their own purposes. The story of Take That's 'Nobody Else' falls under much the same storyline.This, the group's second US release, caught the American fans by surprise mainly because the group's second album 'Everything Changes' was never released here in the States. It was a shock to anyone who had warmed up to the peppy boy-band who gave us the dance club favorites "Could It Be Magic" and "Do What U Like", to all of a sudden find a "follow up" album full of dark, brooding love songs.Surprise at it was, this album yielded the group's only US hit "Back For Good". It also featured the beautiful Take That classic "Love Ain't Here Anymore" which along with "Pray" and "Babe" had been lifted off the group's second album. The rest of the album features a few new songs featured on the UK album including the singles "Sure" and "Never Forget". It has been said that the UK version is a far better album and a more suitable farewell from the group who was so much more than just another boy-band.My Suggestion? Try to find the UK version, its more of a deal for your money. If you must have this album, don't say you weren't warned."

No ordinary boy band

"THE experiment of music companies to put boy bands into play worked when TAKE THAT was introduced in britain in the early nineties what many thought was silly was not to be as take that became the heart throb of every girl in britain powered by sensual lyrics by gary barlow take thats songs grew to become major hits all over britain as well as in asia songs like nobody else, holding back the tears,pray , back for good and a million love songs are a hit anyday NOBODY ELSE is another great album by take that and definately worth the buy

"

This CD is perfect for those romantic nights with a lover.

Good - But The UK Version Is Better

"The US Version of Take That's third and final proper album, 'Nobody Else', disappoints mainly because it feels so tacked-together. Or maybe it's just because I know what it's missing. 'Pray', 'Babe', and 'Love Ain't Here Anymore' have been chucked in from the previous album 'Everything Changes' and brilliant tracks like 'Lady Tonight' and 'Hate it' have been scrapped! It doesn't have the same flow as the original, nor does it feel like the same body of work and it also suffers because it only features ten tracks. I think the US record company thought they'd do the same as Capitol did with The Beatles albums - slice and dice them so that they could make as many albums (and money!) as the could. This probably would have worked too, if they hadn't broken up as soon as 'Back For Good' had become a US Top Ten hit!At the end of the day however this album does feature some beauties; all of the previously mentioned tunes plus UK #1s 'Sure', 'Never Forget', the teary 'The Day After Tommorrow' and the brilliant 'Holding Back The Tears'.Never mind, if you can't find the original version of 'Nobody Else' on import, then you could do much worse than this one. But do try, it'll be well worth it - trust me!Scott Keenan"
